Detonation LabsBehavioral security for the AI agent supply chain

Verdict

No malicious behavior observed

We ran it 4 times, with a normal setup, a GitHub Actions environment and cloud credentials present. It made no network connections. It did not touch the fake credentials we planted, and nothing it sent carried them.

0 findings. Scanned 26 Oct 2026 by detonator 0.5.1.

Observed behavior only. A clean result does not prove a package is safe. Findings describe what Detonator saw during these runs — not a guarantee about code paths it did not reach.
